Why did Nokia lose the mobile device market?

It was destroyed by CEO Stephen Elop, who came from Microsoft. Instead of developing his own operating system, he insisted on purchasing the Windows Phone operating system.

Nokia's weak point was software, but new platforms were supposed to fix this shortcoming. But starting in late 2010, the company's CEO began to slowly and steadily push Nokia in the other direction, towards abandoning its developments. All divisions of RnD and all the developments of the company were destroyed so that the company could no longer return to the right path.

As a result, Microsoft bought Nokia's mobile business.

What's wrong with open source projects?

Large corporations engaged in software development do not shy away from stealing other people's intellectual property in the form of open source code and integrating it into their commercial software

Sooner or later, every programmer will start making his own project, so as not to create competition, Open Source was invented when a programmer, no matter how much time he spent, would not write his own commercial Windows, and his code could be used for free, and he himself would never share it with corporations.

There are other pitfalls, for example, vulnerability in a particular free component can lead to serious threats to information security.

Why did Google rent computing power in Elon Musk's data center?

To slow down the development of xAI AI, the competitor is now spending part of its infrastructure and operational resources on Google tasks.

Google has repeatedly used cooperation with competitors to its advantage. She buys computing power from xAI. The competitor receives money, but at the same time part of his resources is working on the maintenance of Google services, and not solely on the development of his own products. Now the xAI AI will develop more slowly. This will lead to the fact that xAI's AI will be one of the weakest in the market and will not compete with Google's AI. Before her, a similar deal was concluded by Anthropic, leasing the entire Colossus 1 cluster. By that time, xAI had already transferred the training of its models to the newer Colossus 2.

Let's recall Firefox. Google has effectively made Mozilla dependent. While Firefox was losing users in competition with Chrome, Mozilla's revenue was increasingly dependent on Google's multimillion-dollar payments for default search. As a result, the browser, which was supposed to be Chrome's main competitor, turned out to be financially dependent on the company it competes with.
